Javascipt? Question

[BobDoleX]

i have a text area and i want some buttons above it, when clicked, those buttons will insert stuff into the text area, ie: if u click a button called "Bold", it'll insert into the text area. Anyway i can do this?

It's a simple event handler. Here's a tutorial on this:

And here is a working HTML editor in JS that is similar to what I think you want to do:

<input type="button" value=" Bold " onClick="bold()">
<input type="button" value=" Italics "
onClick="italic()">
<input type="button" value=" Underline " onClick="underline()">

<input type="button" value=" Preformatted " onClick="pre()">

<input type="button" value=" Center " onClick="center()">

<input type="button" value=" Horizontal Bar " onClick="hbar()">

<input type="button" value=" Line Break " onClick="lbreak()">
<input type="button" value=" Paragraph Break" onClick="pbreak()">
